The Khelo India Para Games: Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Dr Mansukh Mandaviya launched the Khelo India Para Games 2025 anthem at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium complex here on Tuesday. The second edition of the para games will be held at three venues in the capital from March 20-27.

Launched on the sidelines of the Fit India Carnival, the Khelo India Para Games mascot ‘Ujjwala’ was released by the Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Raksha Nikhil Khadse. The design of ‘Ujjwala’ is inspired by the house sparrow of Delhi symbolising the pride and fighting spirit of the city. Much like the bird that was on the verge of extinction, ‘Ujjwala’ symbolises the para-athletes, who are also a beacon of resilience and perseverance.

Paralympic Committee of India president and ex-Paralympian Devendra Jhajharia and Sminu Jindal, founder chairperson of Svayam, the accessibility partner of the Khelo India Para Games 2025 jointly launched the Games logo amid much fanfare.
